Tyo,, Entf0ue Operates.

After a study of some years, Prof.
Mosso, of Turin, finds that when fatigue
is carried beyond the moderate stage, at
which it is decidedly beneficial, it sub
iects the blood to a decomposing process
through the infiltration into it Of sub
stances which act as poisons, and winch,
when injected into the circulation Of
healthy animals, induce uneasiness ana
all the signs Of excessive exhaustion.
When within the resisting power OF the
subject, fatigue has its pleasures and
even joys, these being the expression q
the organic consciousness that bodily
loss Of tissue is being balanced by re-
construction. Mosso's experiments were
performed on Italian soldiers, and they
proved, among other results, that The
stature and power Of the modern war
rior are fully equal to those Of the an
Gent Romans. I[Arkansaw Traveller.

PEARLS OF
Never sheer at children.

Never sheer at children.
Mind is perpetual motion.
As the parent so is the child.
All is but lip wisdom which wants ex-
p~erlence.
The first step in governing a child is
to govern yourself.
The order of II needs should be the
order of our work.
Time spent in making home happy is
never thrown away.
Good discipline is impossible with
children unemployed.
Many live ridiculously for fear of be-
ing thought ridiculous.
Children are encouraged by the appro-
baton of their parents.
Convince the people you are in dead
earnest if you would succeed.
There is no place so high that an ass
laden with gold cannot reach it.
Life appears to me to be too short to
hsrspent in nursing animosity or regis
tering wrong.
Those who blow the Goals of Others
strife may chance to have the sparks fly
in then faces.
Injuries from friends fret and gall
more, and the memory of them is not so
easily obliterated.
Opportunities are very sensitive things,
if you slight them on their first visit,
you seldom see them again.
To endeavor to work upon the vulgar
with fine sense is like attempting to hew
blocks of marble with a razor.
The power of fortune is conferred
only by the miserable; the happy impute
all their success to prudence or merit. q
Good temper, like a sunny day, sheds
a brightness over everything. 1t Is the
sweetener of toll and the soother of dis
quietude.
The least degree of ambiguity which
leaves the mind in suspense as to the
meaning, ought to be avoided with the
greatest care.
The voice of conscience is so delicate
that it is easy to stife it; but it is als'
SO clear that it is impossible to stihe it

The Mission Of the Bundle Bee.

An Indiana farmer, who told his boys
to burn every humble bees nest they
found on the farm, and who was COM
planning at the failure of his clover
seed crop, was surprised when Maurice
Thompson, tie naturalist, said: "That
is why your clover seed fails you.
Bundle bees make your clover seed"
Tt il q fact that a strong nest of humble
bees in a big clover field is worth $40
to the owner; for these insects are the
chief agents in fertilizing the blossoms,
thereby insuring a heavy crop OF seeds.
In Australia there are no humble bees
of our kind, and they could not raise
clover seed there until they imported

The pitcher had . little ball, and it
was white as snow, and where the striker
thought it was, that ball It wouldn't go.

Recipes.

SUET PUDDING Three cups of -four.
one of ~raisins, stoned, one-half cup suet,
chopped fine, one-half cup molasses,
one-half cup sugar, one-half cup milk,
two teaspoons cinnamon, one of cream OF
tartar, one-haf teaspoon soda; boil one
hour and a half.
CANNING CoRN.-To one quart of corn
take one scant t%caspoonful of tartaric
acid, dissolved in water enough to cover
the corn. Let your corn come to q boil,
then put in cans and seal up. When you
open the cans to use it put in soda to
~counteract the t~artaric acid. Put the
corn in tin cans and grease the inside OF
the cans. Do not fill the cans quite full,
as the corn swells after it is put in them.
APPLE CUsTARD Three cups sweet
milk, three cups apple, grated or stewed
three tablespoonfuls sugar, two eggs,
| volks and whites separate !; one tea
| spoonful white flour. Prepare the apple
by stcwing in as little water as will cool
| them; then mash fine and smooth; they
/ must not be very tart. Beat the yolks
and sugar together, and whip them into
the apples; then stir in the flour and add
the milk. Stir in also the whites well
beaten and pour the custard into pie
pans lined with cream paste. Bake till
the custard is set.

Tenement House Children.

Every one who visits among the tene-
ments is surprised at the healthy looks
of the children, who run about bare
headed, and in summer barefooted, and
who seem rudy and strong. But they
are the survivors who have passed
through the critical age of infancy, when
the weak quickly succumb to the foul
air and torri9 heat. Even those sur
vivors, though they may seem outwardly
vigorous, have but little strength, and
when an epidemic of measles or scarlet
fever prevails they quickly yield to its
baneful influence. The managers of
children's institutions will confirm this
| statement, and it shows how the effects
of tenement life are perpetuated.
The terrible mortality among young
children is the most potent evidence Of
the effects of the tenement hoyse sysesada
The massacre of the innocents in the
homes of the poor is amazing and apall-
ing to any one who has given it a
thought. For upward of twenty years
| some Is, 600 to II, 900 children under 5
years Of age annually perish in the me-
tropolis, and most Of them from what
with fine irony are called ~''preventa-
blea diseases. Despite the steady in
crease in intelligence and the various i'm
provements that have been made in OF
sanitary regulations, in the condition OF
the streets and in the character of the
new buildings that have been erected,
the proportion Of children's deaths shoN
q steady advance, and it will continue
to increase until radical measures ar
taken by the health authorities to i'm
prove the t~encnents. New York Jour
